127: Please don't kill me.

Piercing, urgent alarm bells rang throughout the city, leaving residents looking bewildered.

When they learned from informed sources that the commotion in the city center was caused by Lu Yuan...

A variety of emotions—doubt, surprise, and confusion—appeared on their faces.

Flames soared into the sky above the precarious Hengsheng Headquarters.

Ten Prosperous executives, led by Du Yuanbo, surrounded Lu Yuan, and multiple powerful auras surged toward him!

A Practitioner who cultivates to the Law Realm can already be called a powerhouse.

Let alone the Transcendent Realm!

In the entire Pengcheng City, Practitioners in the Transcendent Realm were few and far between.

"Lu Yuan, you brought this upon yourself!" Du Yuanbo's smile was thick.

Because of Lu Yuan, Prosperous faced the biggest crisis since its founding, retreating again and again under the pressure of the Censorate, almost to the point of handing over the Chairman to go to jail.

But now, everything would vanish into thin air.

The prerequisite was that Lu Yuan died here!

And his killing of Lu Yuan would be justified; he wouldn't bear any responsibility, and might even receive a commendation flag for being a good citizen!

"A piece of trash who hasn't even comprehended a Divine Power, is he worthy of killing me?" Lu Yuan glanced at Du Yuanbo.

Du Yuanbo, a Fire Attribute Practitioner at Transcendent Realm Seven Stars, had not comprehended a Divine Power.

Conversely, among the nine executives behind him, four had symbols flashing between their eyebrows.

Lu Yuan's words made Du Yuanbo's face turn ashen.

Not comprehending a Divine Power was the pain of his life; after all, not everyone was an SSS-Rank Talent Practitioner like Lu Yuan.

Even after breaking through to the Law Realm, they could still comprehend a Divine Power!

"Die!"

Earth Tier High-Grade Spirit Skill: Dance of Falling Flames

A gracefully dancing Fire Eagle soared through the air, its sharp talons heading straight for Lu Yuan!

For Du Yuanbo, he had to kill Lu Yuan as quickly as possible.

This matter had become too big, and Lu Yuan was a student at Pengcheng University.

Everyone at Pengcheng University, from the Principal down to the students, was fiercely protective of their own.

Back then, a Supply Point in the No Mans Land offended a Pengcheng University student, and Vice Principal Zhan Shoucheng personally arrived, demanding by name that the Supply Point Manager apologize to the student.

If the Vice Principal or Principal intervened in time to save Lu Yuan, attempting to minimize the serious matter and settle the minor one... Du Yuanbo solidified his resolve to kill Lu Yuan!

If Lu Yuan died, Prosperous would remain Prosperous; if Lu Yuan survived, even if he spent the rest of his life in prison, The Authorities would continue investigating Prosperous!

The Fire Eagle was eye-catching and determined to deliver a thunderous blow to Lu Yuan!

The Calamity of Demon, Demon Burial, vanished, and black light flickered in Lu Yuan's pupils.

Under the astonished gaze of everyone, the Fire Eagle turned and attacked Du Yuanbo and the rest of the Prosperous executives!

The residents who had surrounded the street until it was impenetrable thought: "???"

The Prosperous executives thought: "???"

Even Du Yuanbo himself was dumbfounded.

Why would the Spirit Skill he cast turn around and attack him?

Bang—

The Fire Eagle first stabbed Du Yuanbo with its talons, then instantly exploded!

"Manager Du, what is the meaning of this?" a Prosperous executive questioned.

He was covered in soot and grime from the explosion, yet Du Yuanbo was a Transcendent Realm Six-Star Practitioner.

Coupled with the Earth Tier High-Grade Spirit Skill he unleashed, it nearly killed him!

"I... I don't know either."

Du Yuanbo's face twitched, and he then looked squarely at Lu Yuan.

A mere Law Realm Practitioner was actually resisting his attack.

"Attack together!" Du Yuanbo chose the safest method.

Ten Transcendent Realm Practitioners assaulting Lu Yuan alone—he didn't believe Lu Yuan could hold out!

The crowded street widened as tens of thousands of Puppet Corps merged into the Calamities' bodies.

Demon Burial reappeared, leading the Eight Great Calamities into battle under Lu Yuan's command.

Poison gas spread, and Nine Vipers arrived!

Without verbal communication, Lu Yuan and Nine Vipers exchanged glances, knowing that Teacher was still unconscious.

The ten great calamities gathered, and Nine Vipers blocked Du Yuanbo.

"I am your opponent!"

Du Yuanbo frowned deeply.

Didn't the intelligence show that Lu Yuan only had nine Special Monsters?

Where did this Special Monster in front of him spring from?!

The nine great calamities displayed their respective Divine Powers, using their Law Realm strength to forcefully resist the Transcendent Realm Prosperous executives.

Among them, Demon Burial, Blood Butcher, thunder erosion, Army Devourer, and Feng Shi fought back and forth with their opponents, occasionally even gaining the upper hand.

Although the other four Calamities struggled somewhat, they prevented the Prosperous executives from freeing up hands to help Du Yuanbo!

"One against ten?"

Zhao Guangyuan, the Captain of the Law Enforcement Brigade, looked toward the center of the melee.

"This is too fierce! A Law Realm Practitioner fighting ten Transcendent Realm Practitioners—who would believe it if word got out!" the Deputy Captain next to him said.

Many citizens raised their phones to record the scene, talking over one another in excited discussion.

"Captain, now..."

"Ensure the safety of the citizens. The situation is beyond our control," Zhao Guangyuan shook his head.

With the situation developing to this point, he, a mere Captain of the Law Enforcement Brigade, could only stare helplessly.

"The army will arrive soon!"

"Mayor!"

Hearing this, Zhao Guangyuan turned his head and was overjoyed to see Mayor Cai Weiyi.

"How could something like this happen!"

Cai Weiyi's forehead was covered in a dense layer of sweat, and he stared intently at the Hengsheng Headquarters surrounded by the Cordon.

It was too insane!

Since Pengcheng City was founded, such a crazy battle had never occurred!

Cai Weiyi, fifty-eight years old and Mayor of Pengcheng City for five years, had a complicated expression.

He was only a Divine Power Realm Practitioner, primarily responsible for Pengcheng's economic development.

With Pengcheng University located here, Pengcheng was safer than any other city except the Imperial Capital!

"How is the situation?" Cai Weiyi asked.

Zhao Guangyuan pondered for a moment.

"The good news is that Lu Yuan hasn't killed innocent people. The bad news is that Prosperous can kill Lu Yuan legitimately," Zhao Guangyuan summarized the situation.

"Are you sure Prosperous is killing Lu Yuan, and not the other way around?"

Cai Weiyi asked.

He was indeed a Divine Power Realm Practitioner, but his eyes were working fine.

Lu Yuan was currently chasing Du Yuanbo and beating him!

Zhao Guangyuan: "???"

The poison gas was lethal, and Du Yuanbo was flustered while fighting Nine Vipers.

With his Transcendent Realm Seven-Star strength, defeating the Law Realm One-Star Nine Vipers should have been a cinch.

But as Lu Yuan joined the battle, the situation went awry.

Multiple strangely shaped Guie floated around, and Lu Yuan unleashed every Puppet Master Spirit Skill he had!

Du Yuanbo had to fight Nine Vipers while simultaneously dealing with the ubiquitous Guie, leaving him physically and mentally exhausted.

Crucially, he had never even heard of the Spirit Skills unleashed by either Nine Vipers or Lu Yuan.

Let alone how to counter them!

His vision gradually blurred, and Du Yuanbo found breathing increasingly difficult, but he didn't know what was wrong.

"Manager Du, black blood is flowing from your eyes!"

A Prosperous executive said.

"What?!" Du Yuanbo rubbed his eyes, and a foul, fishy smell entered his nostrils.

"I've been poisoned!"

Du Yuanbo looked at Nine Vipers, whose lips curled into a smile.

"My poison is everywhere." Nine Vipers stood still, looking at Du Yuanbo as if he were a corpse!

Black blood, nothing but black blood!

Du Yuanbo widened his eyes, his vision becoming increasingly blurry.

Eyes, ears, nose, mouth... black blood continuously streamed from his Seven Orifices!

Violently shaking his head, Du Yuanbo gasped for air.

Thump—

He immediately knelt before Lu Yuan!

This kneeling caused the melee to halt briefly, and the Prosperous executives' gazes focused on Du Yuanbo.

"D-don't kill me!"

Du Yuanbo begged for mercy, then seemed to remember something.

"I was forced into this! It was the Chairman who ordered me to attack you! Don't kill me, please don't kill me!"
